WINNER ANNOUNCEMENTS: Congratulations to Sarah, Marsha, Alicia, Carol, and Ella!!! They have all responded to their email notifications and will be receiving this gift.
So guess what that is ——>
That’s Colleen Hoover’s book, “Hopeless“. Right there. In print!! Well… hehe. In “homemade” print. She printed the book out in it’s entirety and displayed it’s pages proudly on Facebook, saying:
“400 pages…114,000 words (The length of SLAMMED and POR put together, mind you) Over half a million characters…two reams of printer paper and two ink cartridges later…I now have a completed manuscript to hold in my hands. It’s really, really heavy. I can’t wait for all of you to meet Sky and Holder!!! ♥ ♥ ♥”
I must say, that is quite an impressive looking book! And I will say that it IS an impressive book, as I have read it. Here is my review, in case you missed it down there.
And guess what? Colleen Hoover has five SIGNED copies to give away to five lucky commenters on this blog. Errr… well… let me clarify. 😉 She is giving away THE REAL print books that are still in production as we speak. The gorgeous ones, with the shiny cover, that we can display on our shelves, and stare at… lovingly. All pretty and “book-like”.
Want one? Maybe you’ll get one!
How to enter for a chance to win one? Just leave a comment below (or better yet, since we’re in that mad Christmas shopping rush, if you’ve ever had a crazy shopping experience, tell that story!), and tomorrow night (Wednesday December 19th, 2012) by 10pm EST, I will randomly select five winners.
The winners will be contacted and will have 48hrs to respond with a mailing address, so if you are picked, do not delay or you will lose your chance. The books will be sent directly from the author as soon as she has them on hand (remember, the actual print books are still in production). This giveaway is open to EVERYBODY who comments – international too! YAY!!!
And while you’re here, if you haven’t already joined me (actually “us”, ’cause we’re a big group now) on Facebook and Twitter, whatcha waiting’ for?!

Merry Christmas Maryse……craziest story…went shopping with my aunt and we literally lost her car and could not find it in the parking garage! We forgot what level we parked on, and we looked for that darn car for an hour, walking every level! At first we were frustrated but by the time we found it we were laughing so hard we almost peed ourselves! I promised never to tell anyone we did that…..opps 🙂
I would love love love to win. Crazy shopping experience was being nine mmonths pregnant on black friday at a walmart!
I bought it as soon as I saw it was up, but I already know I will want a hard copy too!!! Can’t wait to start it!
Love Collen Hoover!
I haven’t had a crazy shopping experience really. BUt I DO remember going shopping the day after Christmas with my mom one year at Dillard’s. Let me tell you, the ladies go crazy over angel ornaments. It’s a little ridiculous!!
I would love a copy!!!!
Can’t wait to read this book. Woohoo!! 🙂
I would love a copy of this!! Big fan of Colleen’s!
I would have to say my craziest shopping experience was a few years ago. I always take my Dad shopping for my Mom, and we waited a bit later to go for her gifts than normal. She was in love with this gorgeous diamond ring, and Dad kept saying he wouldn’t get it because it was too expensive and such. We ended up going EVERYWHERE and finding nothing else that she had on her list. Like everything was sold out. Our last resort was the ring. So in we go to the store just so I can show it to Dad, and we get to the counter and it’s gone. I thought I was going to cry because that was our last resort gift idea and they were gone. Dad suggested we look at a few other things and see if there was something else we could pick out. While we were standing there, a gentleman came in and had a return. What was it you ask??? YEP, our ring!! The ring we came for. As soon as we saw him hand it back over, Dad said “We have to have it now, it’s meant to be.” So we bought it as soon as the guy walked out, no questions asked. That was also the last time we waited until the last minute to shop. We call that our “Arm and a leg shopping trip”. 🙂
Thanks for the great giveaway! I don’t have any crazy shopping experiences to share!
I haven’t had any crazy shopping experiences!! I don’t have a lot of people to buy for so my list is easy!! I hope to win this for myself a christmas gift!!

Huge fan! It would b the best Christmas gift ever to win this!
I cannot keep up with all the books…I sure do hope Santa is good to me this year with alot of B&N gift cards.
What an amazing gift! I’ve been trying to stay away from crazy Christmas shopping by buying online as much as possible. This time of year out there is too much for me.
Totally just bought this. But would love to win a signed copy
Awesome! Thanks for the chance! 🙂
Would love to get this book!!!
Ok, it’s kind of a long story, but it’s pretty funny. 7 years ago, my daughter was WAY into Barbie dolls so she got lots of “accessories” for Christmas. While I was in the crazy “wrapping” phase (at 11pm on Dec 23rd cause that’s how I roll..), I realized that Toys R Us forgot to put the Barbie bed I bought the day before in any of my 10 bags. I called the store, freaking out, and scared the poor manager into putting one aside for me and told him I was on my way to get it. It’s now midnight, mind you. I come home, wrap it, all is well. Fast forward to Christmas morning, the first present my daughter opens is her new Barbie bed. She’s THRILLED, so am I. The second present she opens? ANOTHER Barbie bed. OOPS! Turns out I was so sleep deprived, I hadn’t realized I had already wrapped it. Later that morning, she told me that she was pretty positive that Santa wasn’t real, but told me “thanks for trying”. *sigh* My bad.
Can’t wait to start Hopeless.
This book is on my TBR list! (:
PLEEEEEASE!
Would love to win
OMG…. i hope i am picked cause i cant get it on my nook yet. Thanks for the giveaways…
My craziest shopping experience would be searching frantically for the last Tickle Me Elmo for my neice the first year it came out along with 50,000 other last minute shoppers…but I got it for her!! I would love Hopeless under my tree! Merry Christmas!
I can’t wait to read another of Coleen’s best seller!
Merry Christmas…and thank you…love your site…:) Would also love to win….but, we’ll see.. 🙂
Ohhhh! I can’t wait to read this one! There are sooooo many great new books out this month! The only crazy shopping experience I’ve had this year was on Thanksgiving @ midnight (mall stores opened early)…there was a freakin’ line wrapped around one end of the mall, INSIDE the mall, just to get INTO the Hollister store!! I mean they did have their sexy lifeguard boys on duty, but still! Lol! Crazy people…plus! The sames sale was available during that time, on their website!
Yay! Can’t wait to read this!! Merry Christmas!!
My craziest shopping experience was when my daughter was just 2 years old. She wanted to walk behind me in a very crowded store. I told her she needed to stay right behind me, evry time i turned around she was stopping and staing at things. I proceeded to tell her I was going to keep going and leave her (thinking this would get her to follow me) ha! She then stomped her foot and loudly yelled (in front of many shoppers i might add) YOUR PISSING ME OFF!…everyone stopped dead in their tracks and looked at us, i was mortified and then everyone laughed….ugh the things kids say…Shes 12 now and i havent ever heard her say a cuss word since, im sure its coming though.lol
Fortunately no crazy shopping stories. But still pick me!
Walking Wallmart Christmas Eve an hour before they close..holy crap that’s crazy!
The craziest shopping experience I’ve had over the holidays was Black Friday last year. It was my first time shopping on that day and I have no words LOL it was just complete craziness. Thanks for the giveaway!! 🙂
I hate shopping so it’s always crazy for me. The craziest story I can think of was when I was 37 weeks pregnant and I was shopping with my 18 month old at Target. I was walking through the parking lot and had to pee really bad. I felt a gush and thought I had peed my pants. I got my son in the car and then drove to McDonalds. I checked in the bathroom and unfortunately my water had broke. Thankfully everything went fine and my son was born a healthy early baby but I will never forget where I was when my water broke/ thought I peed my pants
I have been waiting for the book. Please pick me!!!
Omg I would love it and love Colleen. You go girl!!!!
I want it! No great stories because I shopped for everything online this year. What a breeze!!
I was married on Dec. 23 and remember the craziness of shopping for Christmas with my wedding so close to it. It was brutally stressful.
So excited for Hopeless!
I think I can! I think I can!! I think I at least have a little bit of a chance to win something!!! I <3 Colleen Hoover!!! 😀
I can not wait to read Coleen’s latest best seller! Hopeless is at the top of my TBR list!
Yay!!! I just started reading Hopeless. This is one new release I was really looking forward to. Um..shopping stories? I, fortunately, do most of my shopping online. A trip to WalMart on black Friday last year cemented that, lol.
Would love to have a signed one. Just bought it on my kindle..i’m sure I’ll love this book too.
I would love this!
One time I forgot one person on my list. I had accidentally crossed out their name and I ended up running to Walgreens the day of Christmas to pick up presents/gift cards!!
<3 you Colleen!
I would love to read this book! I read your review & it was excellent. I just love the way she writes, it just flows. I really don’t have any crazy shopping stories, because I usually shop online to avoid all the drama! I have been in a few stores this year & some people should just stay home. They have no idea what the holidays are all about! Thank you for your generosity!
I usually start early to avoid the crowds and not have to pay for everything in one month. So nothing comes to mind. I would love to have the signed book. I ♥ Collen Hoover!!!! I need a signed book of hers. 😉
I avoid shopping at all costs! I shop online and shop early, lol
Craziest shopping experience? Just that I am convinced hot guys do not do their own shopping. Have yet to see anyone worth writing a book about.
No crazy shopping experiences here, but I’ve heard of too many that now I just do my shopping online as much as I can 🙂 <3 u Maryse!!!
I love her books !! Pick me please !!!! 🙂
Pick me pick ,me!
I have three kids… Every shopping experience is crazy. Lol. I once stood outside at 3am with a 2 year old to get into target on black Friday. NEVER AGAIN. This year mt Christmas shopping was 100% online.
Would love to win..thx
can’t wait to read it!
Me me me me!!!
me please I can’t wait to read it!
The only crazy shopping stories I can think of are the ones my husband loves to tell about his 1st experience with Black Friday! Needless to say, he has never gone back to do that again. ;o)
Shopping on Black Friday was crazy! Love Colleen Hoover !
This one is on the top of my reading list!!!
Would love to win this 🙂
Oh I love this author! I’d love a copy!
I went to Target on Black Friday and it was chaos! It’s unbelievable what people will fight over to save a few bucks.
Oohhh iv had a crazy shopping experience… you know how crowded stores can get *sigh* well I’m not verey good with crowds and get flustered and agitated when caught in one. Well when i was hmmm maybe 15? my sister was telling me what she wanted for Christmas and kept shoving stuff at me and i just couldn’t take it anymore i put all the stuff down (i thought) and marched out of the store, only to realize i was being chased by someone other than my sister (O.O) i was like “what’d i do?” Then the angry sales lady grabbed my hand and removed an item that my sister had shoved in my hand. I had put my cell phone down instead of whatever that thing was in my hand accidentally (/.\) it was so embarrassing
Omg!! I need to read this book!! Awesome giveaway!!
Almost got ran over!!
So excited to read this! Love Colleen Hoover! Thanks, Maryse!!!
I would love to win. I guess my crazy shopping experience is that on “black Friday” my sister drags me all over but we now start Thursday night at 8:00 and shop all night! I’m like a zombie the rest of the weekend.
I can’t wait to read this book!!!
I never win anything and this would be awesome! But I’m not ” hopeless”. Hehe.
Squeee!!! I REALLY, REALLY want one!!! Love her! xx
Would love to receive a copy. <3
Not sure if is this is considered a crazy story about shopping, But today i left the mall and was driving through town, which was crazy, but this lady in front of me literally stopped at every light, red or green to let people who were making rights out. I couldn’t understand it, it is a busy road, and i let people out, but not when the light is green. Anyway I would love to read this book!
Would love it !!!! Happy Holidays <3
I am not a last minute shopper, or a Black Friday shopper so I’m afraid I have no great story to contribute. I actually prefer to shop from the comfort of my own home….hello amazon prime!
Enter me please!
Looking forward to reading Hopeless!!!
Can’t wait to read this book. Thanks for the giveaway.
Omg! Pick me! pick me!
LOVE Colleen Hoover! I’m dying to read this book 🙂
I would love a copy it loos great!
once we made the mistake of going to the Wolfchase mall here in the Memphis area. It was an utter nightmare. I almost lost one of my daughters due to the crowds. it was just bad. so bad. >:(
I would love this book! I was shopping at walmart recently and offered to help 2 older guys find a gift for their grandson. They gave me their phone, had me talking to one of their daughters and I spent 30 minutes helping with their whole Christmas list! My good deed for the day 🙂
I am so excited to read this book! I love Colleen! …….I have no shopping horror stories! I cheat and do all my shopping online! 🙂
I’m reading the ebook now!!!!
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Can’t wait to read…
I’d love to win a book!
Pick me pick me
LOVE, Love, love Colleen’s books!! They are butterflying awesome! For a long time my mom and I would go out on Christmas Eve to ‘mix it up’ with all the shoppers. We would always buy matching bracelets as a present to ourselves. She’s 83 now and her health prevents this outing now, but we have some fun memories of past Christmas Eves. (i.e. she pulled down a mannequin while trying to look for a size on a sweater)
I can’t wait to read this one. Happy Holidays!!
I don’t have a crazy story. I did however have a very scary rollover accident on December 23, 1995. I had decided to do last minute Christmas shopping and I was supposed to take my son who was almost 2 with me. Just before we left for the mall, my mom called and said she would keep my son for me. So off I went alone to the mall. I was a single parent at the time and didn’t have much money. I very carefully purchased specific presents for my loved ones. On my way home I hit some ice, lost control and my car flipped upside down. I was thankfully ok. I had some bruising and some cuts from broken glass. I will never forget crawling out on my hands and knees and seeing all my presents had been thrown all over the road. I was so thankful my son wasn’t with me and obviously thankful that I wasn’t more injured. My car was totaled though. On Christmas morning my son opened one of his gifts and dirt fell out of the box. I burst into tears. Definitely a Christmas I’ll never forget.
No crazy holiday shopping stories for me unless you count checking my mail 5 times a day ! We are Air Force living in Japan and do all our shopping online . Still praying on a few things to get here !!
Thanks for the give away !! Can’t wait to sit down and start this new book !!
I have never had a crazy shopping experience. I am pretty sure I will have one once I have kids and go to Toys-R-Us lol.
Aaaahhhh, I want to read this SO badly!!! I love Colleen’s writing so much, and this book just sounds absolutely incredible!! Thanks for the opportunity!! (:
No crazy shopping stories here. I prefer to do all my shopping online. Going to the stores this time of year is insane especially if you need to buy things for children! haha

As for crazy Christmas story, well we do Black Friday so every year is pretty crazy, the worst has to have been on very first Black Friday spectacular, hehehehe, we were so in prepared, my husband stood in line for a day to score one of them tvs that normally go on special, he drank red bulls, double shots and straight espresso to keep himself up, I had to work that morning so my behind was nice and cozy in our SUV. Needless to say he did get that tv, but going forward we made sure we took chairs and blanket and something to keep us occupied, you can seriously get delusional after a while…:eek:

Great giveaway! I worked at a company a few years ago and the boss’s wife was going shopping on Black Friday. He said if I wanted to leave work and go shopping with her, I could. Who wouldn’t, right? So we finish shopping, there was 3 of us, and none of us could remember exactly where we parked. We thought we had it right but couldn’t find the car. After searching for 30 minutes, my boss’s wife was in tears thinking someone had stolen the car and all of the gifts she had already purchased that were in it. We had to get mall security and rode with them. What do you know? Our car was in a totally different area safe and sound. We felt like idiots.
You have me hooked wanting to read this book. I’ve had no crazy shopping experiences but I had an amazing one. I won my local Kohl’s store daily Christmas shopping giveaway. I asked if I could pay the win forward to the next person which I was able to do. I stayed around to see who would win hoping it would be someone who really needed it. The amazing thing is the person who ended up winning just bought things to give away for charity. Everyone around was giving each other high fives. What a way to feel the Christmas spirit!
Colleen is one of my fav authors! I just read your review and can’t wait to start reading Hopeless
Ahhhh this would be so amazing!!!!
YAY! 🙂 I cant wait to read this!!!
Well I don’t exactly have very many shopping stories to tell because I prefer to shop online! lol Wayyy easier!
Merry Christmas and thanks for all the great reviews!! My crazy Christmas story this year was when I went to Walmart on black Friday and was looking at the movies they had as door busters. This guy came by and grabbed the last ten movies away from me as i was looking at them.and he didn’t even know what they were
Just LOVE Colleen’s books! Can’t wait to put my kids to bed & begin reading Hopeless!!
Can’t wait to read this!
Ugh lord… I went to the mall last weekend and after shopping all day with my husband and two demon span children, I walked into Bath & Body Works to finish my shopping for my mom with some Cucumber Melon yummies only to be told THEY NO LONGER CARRY IT! What?! When did that happen…the lady proceeds to tell me to try Sweet Pea because they smell ‘similar’! Since when right?! I kinda blew up at the lady and yelled at her saying they smell NOTHING a like…
Hope my story is worth sharing… I feel like a giant butt retelling it!
Awesome!! No real crazy shopping exp. I shop online.LOL.
I figured I’d do a story. It’s not my own but it’s a close friends and I really liked it. She was shopping in K-Mart for her son on black friday and while waiting in line to enter the store she made friends with the lady ahead of her. The lady had told her about a sort of learning pad she had gotten for her own son, who was the same age as my friends son, and continued to explain how much he loved it and learned from it and how awesome it was. My friend was hoping to snag one in K-Mart while she was there because they were only 60 dollars which was a huge sale price. When they entered the store she quickly grabbed a cart and shot straight to the toy isle to find the learning pad. Sadly she got stuck in between two ‘stoppers’ that wouldn’t let her squeeze through. She had been waiting there in chaos for about 10 minutes trying to push her way through when she heard someone yelling her name. To her surprise the woman she met in line was racing towards her with a learning pad, she discovered that it was the last one left and the woman she met was kind enough to grab it for her! I thought that was a really awesome story because on black friday you don’t find a ton of kindness from others, it’s usually just aggression and chaos. (:
Thanks for the awesome giveaway. Huge fan of Colleen’s. (:
Big fan of Colleen Hoover! Cant wait to read this one, hope it brings tears like her previous books! No crazy shopping stories yet, but there’s still time 🙂

I work in retail, so I am disillusioned with Christmas shopping…so no story there. But tomorrow is my 9th wedding anniversary, so that has to count for something right??
Merry Christmas! I found your book Slammed thru Barnes and Noble, and after I read it, I had my whole office reading! What a great story! Just now waiting to pass it to my daughter! Thank you!!!!!
My crazy shopping experience was —last week having to get “one” more gift for my 6 year olds– teacher. So mommy (me) after work all three kids (6,4,2) & the bookstore was packed– getting a gift card.. I was in a hurry & borrowed my husbands car that day…coming out of mall — the kids were good but for some reason I couldn’t find my CAR!!! I was thinking OMG — did someone take it — after walking up & down three rows — the sweat started to pour down my back– needless to say — 10 LONG minutes later I had the alarm go off — I was looking for MY car– not my husbands.. I had so much on my mind.. I waved at a few people feeling stupid– & telling the kids — don’t tell dad– he will make fun of me, this is our little secret… FINALLY — I found the car– so embarrassing — ahhhh holidays …
Oh my goodness!! So excited!!
Thanks for doing this!
CanNOT wait to read this book!!!
Not so crazy but super funny ( and an old story ) my mom decided to me ans my brothers shopping one Xmas. We were young but I remember it like it was yesterday. She was trying to round the three of us up to leave a store. She was distracted keeping an eye on us. She thought she was heading in the direction of the exit so she was walking full speed to only crash in to the glass window. Me and the boys couldn’t stop laughing. The store was packed too. She still hasn’t lived that one down and Its been at least 20 years. Merry Christmas !
Can’t wait to read Hopeless! So excited! I really like your blog. Thanks for all the great book recommendations! I did shop on Black Friday and that is always crazy, but fun watching people running all over.
My experience was Saturday night. My mom and I went to kohls to go shopping. When we were checking out I told mom, we done an awesome job! We saved $1022!! I said we won’t tell dad how much we actually spent though.. ($566.99) as we were leaving a woman asked if she could ask a question. I said sure.. Long story short we were chosen for kohls dream reward and they paid off moms credit card from that shopping trip minus 30% discount. So they paid $458!!!
I can’t wait for this book to come out!
Yay!!an international contest yay!!
Would love a copy! Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this site
Can’t wait to read this!

I wish I had a crazy shopping experience for you, but I do all my holiday shopping in October/November. Can’t stand going out during the mad rush.
Thanks 🙂
I would love one !!!! Love her books !
Several years ago I went shopping on black Friday. The big item that year was portable Dvd players and I saw two grown ladies rolling on the ground throwing serious punches over the last one at a Kohl’s….being the mature one that I was my sister and I stopped and laughed & placed a bet on which one we thought would win! To this day I always hope to have another black Friday as exciting as that. It was better than any of the sales!! 🙂
I can not wait to read this book. My friend lent me my first Colleen Hoover book and I’ve been hooked since. 🙂
I have read all of her books & cannot wait to read this one!:)
Awesome giveaway! My crazy shopping experience happened the day after thanksgiving at jcpennys. They had 8 dollar appliances on sale , 15 min after the store opened we headed up only to find the shelves empty. Well low and behold there was 1 crockpot ($8) in the towel section. My friend grabbed it and along the way to the line we had 2 separate people ask if we were getting it and then even had another guy yell “get her she has the 8 buck crockpot” I felt like we had to stay in a group we were at risk of getting taken down! Lol it was fun and we got it safely at home!
Loooooove Colleen Hoover!!!
I don’t have any real crazy shopping stories but the last 2yrs I have gone Black Friday shopping with my in laws and I have to say we make an awesome team. We have decided to make a tradition of it. My father in stands in line and holds our spots (since they are normally at least an hour long) while me and the mother in law continue shopping 🙂
Anxiously awaiting this book to go live on B&N!!! Only crazy experience is my husband’s tendency to wait until Christmas Eve to do all of his shopping…when it’s a madhouse!!
Awesome! Loved Slammed and Point of Retreat and can’t wait to read Hopeless!
I gotta have one!!!
Omg I’m so excited to read this book!
Ohh I want to read this!
I ventured to Black Friday :/
Most of my crazy shopping experiences have occurred on Black Friday. Dun dun dunnnn… One time, my sister and I were sitting in her parked car waiting for the store to open. The lady comes zooming by and squeezes in the spot. She parked uber close to my sister, but somehow this made her mad at us. She was muttering things like “OH MY GOD” and other inappropriate exclamations. My sister is the type that doesn’t take crap from anybody. Because this is her personality, she immediately rolled down her window and yelled “SCROOGE” as the lady walked by. It was an instant classic Black Friday shopping experience.
SOOO happy for Colleen!!! Can’t wait to read this book!
No shopping stories just a big fan:-) thanks!
I love CH …. I can’t wait to get started :))))))
Cantvwaitvto read, just LOVED her other books!!!! Wanna hear a crazy story???? Thanksgiving night at WAlmart!!! Waited by the 700 thread count sheets for an hour and half, 1 minute before they let u get them the others that stood by me, ripped open the paper around the bin and it was nuts!!!!! I got one pack and was right in front, people thought it was free or gold!!!! Insane I tell u!!!!!
No crazy shopping here. But I would really LOVE to win so you can pick me..Please!!!! Merry Christmas..
Today is my birthday and getting a signed copy would be an awesome present to me!
Wow!! What a great giveaway!! The craziest shopping story I ever experiienced was wathing my mom wrestle a cabbage patch doll away from an elderly lady when I was 6. It was awesome. 😉
Would LOVE to win this. No crazy shopping experience here. I try to get everything done early and as much online as possible so that come right around Christmas I don’t have to stress. Traffic is always nuts though around this time and can’t really be avoided.
Ooooohhh thanks for offering this book in the giveaways….I dont have it yet ;o) I do have a funny Christmas Shopping story….it was this year….we went out on Black Friday and came home with very few gifts….but did manage to pick up a Tuxedo Tee Shirt and a Disco Ball…..go figure??? I blame it on the lack of sleep! LOL
Just bought and reading the Kindle edition now. Stopped reading two other books to read Hopeless!!!!
Omgosh! Colleen Hoover’s new book?!??! Please, oh please! I can’t say that I have any crazy shopping stories at this point because I still have 6 days to shop-lol!! Actually I’ve started, but I just haven’t finished. Being in my first year of teaching, I’m still trying to get adjusted to working full time and keeping the family running. Thankfully my incredibly awesome husband keeps things running smoothly. Ok, I’ll quit rambling-thank you Maryse for having such a phenomenal blog!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I’m a manager at Wal-Mart, so my entire life is a crazy shopping experience right now! Haha.
I love Colleen and I can’t wait to read Hopeless! [Dang B&N barely has early releases]
Wow! What a X-mas gift this would be!!! I don’t have any funny shopping stories — I was finished shopping BEFORE Black Friday. Hehehehehehehehe. 🙂
I have just gotten into reading again sonetime last year. I had not picked up a book since high school. Now I dont know what I would do without my books. The bad thing is my family do not like me reading because that seems to be all I do : ). I was lost after I read several books until I found your blog. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you. So far I have read 4 of the books you have blogged about and you do not disapoint in your reviews. Again thanks your a lifesaver.
I CANNOT wait to read this book. I have Slammed and Point of Retreat on my Kindle and the actual books just in case technology ever stopped working or something! (Type A personality for sure)…
Crazy shopping story… Ummmm idk because I live in Miami so shopping is crazy all year round. Black Friday is always fun though! It’s quite the family event… My brother and I go around screaming out the prices of things to see who comes after us to get it.
I really hope to win a signed copy of Hopeless! It would make my freaking year!!!!
Happy holidays to you all!! Looking forward to wonderful new year full of great new books to fall in love with 😉
<3 D

Thank you, Maryse and Colleen, for making this giveaway international!!! This will be an amazing Christmas gift for the five lucky people who will win!!! One crazy Chritmas story – one year I didn’t know what to buy my hubby, so I kept wondering the stores in the mall and I almost got kicked out of one, as they were ready to close and I was still in there with the gift I have finally got for my hubby 🙂
Just finished shopping for my sister and best friend- gifts??? Slammed and POR retreat of course! Best books ever.

Can’t wait to read this. Mostly shop online and save the drama for my reading.
No crazy shopping experiences since I usually do it far in advance. I’ve done the crazy black friday overnight stuff, but nothing crazy happened. But I’d love a signed copy of Hopeless!!

Dragging my daughter, 2 and 6, to TARGET the day “after” Christmas to find the perfect tree. On sale of course! Even now at 17 and 21, we still have the tree and laugh every year about this story!
I need this! I need it so bad. No words. Please!!!!
Pick me, pick me…….
Happy xmas!! This book looks fabulous!!
NEED this book ASAP 😉 Who has time to shop when there are so many books to read??
This would be the best Christmas gift ever. I read Slammed and Point of Retreat and really feel in love with the character and author. To win a signed copy of Colleen Hoover’s new book would be just wonderful. As far as Christmas shopping I done most of mine on QVC and Amazon. So I’m one of the lucky one’s …….stress free shopping.
I’m so excited for this book!! My “Christmas shopping” story would be when I was 8 months pregnant with my oldest son and went out on Black Friday to get the “deals”… I have no idea what my prego body was doing up at that time of the morning(no coffee either!) but I went to Best Buy and of course, was wayyyyy back in line. By the time I got in the store my “main” deal was gone but a man heard me talking about it and gave me one of his because he had gotten 2 and felt sorry for my being out in my “state”. Another person then gave me one of their extra’s for something else I wanted and next thing I know, this mama was a happy camper! There were luckily some very nice people at that am who were willing to share:)
Oooh please pick me!!
I just bought the Kindle version, but would LOVE a signed copy!!!
All that’s missing under my tree is a signed copy of Hopeless!!! I start my Christmas shopping so early that I have managed to avoid any incidents. But that’s just the control freak in me!! 🙂
…trapped in a mall parking lot for 3 hours in line of cars waiting to get out, pre- cellphone…not fun.
I think my crazy story would be that I don’t start Christmas shopping till about Dec 22 or 23 and that’s for about 30 people…and that’s every year!
I would LOVE this! I can’t think of a crazy shopping experience . . . other than shopping on black friday every year. Thanks!
After your review I want to ready this one. No shopping horror stories that I remember but I try to do most of my shopping online so I’m only in trouble when the internet is down.
What a great giveaway!!! Sorry to say I don’t have any exciting holiday shopping experiences! Sorry;) It is just crazy busy out there!!
I would LOOOOVVVVEEEEE this book!!! I have just started my shopping, i HATE shopping at Xmas time!!!! Thank goodness i only have 7 people to buy for this year!!
Come on. Momma needs this book. I was an accountant at walmart for years and oh the stories about the gypsies that would come in.
I went to Toys R Us today to look for a few items I haven’t ordered online yet and the looks on all the other parents/grandparents/friends/etc. was so funny. Everyone had the same look in their eye, searching for just the right thing to make their little person’s Christmas special. Unfortunately, I didn’t find what I was looking for…thank goodness for the internet because it’s ordered and will be on it’s way to me.
Would absolutely love to win one of these books!! Black Friday standing in front of a store at 5am in the snow and freezing and waiting for it to open. Augh….never again…LOL
I love this book! & I hope I win. There are actually two crazy shopping experiences I have had.
1) I went black friday shopping two years ago & a poor helpless lady got punched in the nose by a guy over a DVD. Needless to say, I was speechless, the guy was a nutcase, & the poor woman really needed a tissue.
2) This year at black friday, I was waiting in line forever to get a 4 set phone deal for my mother that was dying for it. When the clock struck 10 & the deal was open. I went down low to get a set got clock on top of the head with someones elbow, got pushed into a buggy to leave a red bruise, & laughed my butt off that people get that crazy over black friday. From that day on my friends & I decreed it “Happy Black Friday games, and may the odds be ever in your favor”.
Thanks for the opportunity, Maryse!
I want a copy for sure!! Love colleen’s books!!!!
I would LOVE to win this! Colleen is just amazing!
This would be a great gift! Very excited about this book!
Thanks!
No really crazy shopping experiences here. But that’s probably because I hate to shop and do most shopping online 🙂 Would still love to win one of these books! I’m very much looking forward to reading it!
Merry Christmas!! I would LOVE a new book to read! Trying to find a “good read” haven’t found a book that just “sucked me in” in a long while…
I just started this book tonite and loving it so far!! Would love to win a copy!! My crazy shopping experience just happened last weekend. We live in a small town so my husband and I thought we would go about an hour away and find exactly what we were looking for. So we go to best buy to buy a Halo 4 x-box limited edition. Well guess what they were completely sold out every best buy in Oklahoma. So we go ahead and buy a regular one with all the halo stuff on our way home we decide to stop in at Walmart in our little town and guess what?! They have it!! So of course we buy it and take the other one back the next day! We were so excited but I think we learned our lesson to try home first!!!
I would love a signed copy of Hopeless!
I’ve only had one bad experience this season. This year is the first year I shopped on Black Friday in my area. I try to avoid all the crazy people. They had big racks of clothes blocking off the usual paths in Walmart. While I was heading to find a line, a clothes rack went flying across the path and ran into a lady and her cart in front of me. The sales associate tried to push the people back and failed. When the culprits came through they were yelling and screaming at all of us standing there because we were in their way of cutting through.
Can’t wait!! Would love to have this book to keep on my bookshelf after I read it 20 times
I want to read Hopeless! Pick me, Pick me!
Thanks.

I would love a copy of this book. Please.
I’m almost done with all my xmas shopping this year. I did most of mine online to avoid all of those “funny” stories. lol!
Most craziest Christmas shopping experience will have to be when my boyfriend and I “LOST” HIS NEPHEW at the mall… We went shopping for last minute gifts, yes this is us EVERY year. Well we take care of his 5 year old nephew every afternoon, he was 3 when this happened. We were at the mall, a bunch of bags in hand and the mall gets CRAZY. we were passing baby gap and I say, “Oh we should buy Noah something…” We just stopped and looked at each other. After that it was pretty much chaos. i was crying and freaking out, he was yelling at me to calm down and stop crying. Finally we just decided to go to the security and police officers, and call his sister. The minute she answered her cell I started balling. My boyfriend took over and told her everything, when I looked him he was just staring at me, then he starts cursing and laughing. We sort of, uh forgot we had left him with my mother in law… LOL! We were so stressed out we didn’t even remember!. That’s holiday stress for ya. We did get in trouble though cause it took us so long to notice he was gone. But yay to our whacked out minds!
I love her work!
I would really love this! I dont have a crazy shopping experience but thats for this chance!
Would love to read this!
I always have all my shopping done by Halloween, so unfortunately I have no crazy shopping stories. I did enjoy reading everyone else’s though!
Love Colleen Hoover’s books. Would love to read this one as well. No crazy shopping stories, I did a lot of my shopping online this year. I did have to buy 3 American Dolls bc I have three daughters, so I think I must have lost my mind spending that much $$$ on dolls.
Yes please
Thanks
I want a copy, please!
Happy Holidays
Today I decided to do some random acts of kindness. It was a great feeling! I helped a lady carry out really heavy items from a store. I put $5 toward the next customers order at a sandwich shop, I complemented the worker on his awesome eyes. Im pretty sure he thought I was hitting on him but whatever, still made him smile. Then I went to Starbucks and got a latte and a gift card. Then I turned around and gave it to the lady behind me. She was so surprised and grateful that she hugged me. I then made home made lava lamps for my sons 3rd grade class. They all hugged me too:)
Love Colleen Hoover! Can’t wait to read this book
Just a few days ago as I was shopping in a store, a lady had a seizure right there & an ambulance had to be called. Luckily she was responsive after the seizure stopped.
I LOVE this author and would love to win this prize! I haven’t read it yet but I’m so excited to! 🙂

I want this book so bad!!!!!
No random shopping experiences. I would love a copy though.
I really don’t have any crazy shopping experiences yet to tell but one disappointing one. I actually didn’t want to go shopping that day but I had to because it was winter and my old boots were worn out so I had to go out and look for one I like anyways I was wearing my favourite dark blue scarf, my aunt sent me it, I went to the bathroom and probably forgot it so when I went back – which wasn’t so long and it was no longer there. I looked everywhere didn’t find it. Even asked the lost and found people there the next day and they didn’t have it. Forever lost, oh well I bought myself a pretty red scarf. My now favourite and I am always careful not to lose it hehe ;P.
I am a HUGE fan of Colleen’s! I would LOVE nothing more than to be able to have my very own signed copy of HOPELESS. Please pick ME!!!
Want one!!!
Oh, can’t wait to read this book!
Oh my god!! What a great give away!!!! I would totally DIE if I won this one! My crazy story is when I worked at a retail store, and on Black Friday a poor woman got trampled just so people could save a few bucks!! It was horrible, but luckily she got away unharmed 🙂
Please pick me!! I’m a starving student on break looking for a good book to read!
Would love to get a copy of that. <3
Hmm will I never had any weird shopping experiences, except for one time where I’m running around all over the mall looking for a gift for my dad and there was only 4 days till Christmas, I happened to come across a sports booth and stopped. I found the perfect gift, a Mark Sanchez lamented football card framed:)
I WILL READ ANYTHING COLLEEN WRITES!!!! Thank you so much for the giveaway!!!!!!!
I have never experienced a mad shopping frenzy – I’m an early bird when it comes to shopping. Or I do it online. But still, very early with ordering. YAY for that, right?! 🙂
lilleetleet AT verizon DOT net
I am so excited about reading this book!!!!!
I want to win
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this book. I don’t have any crazy holiday shopping stories, I guess I’m boring that way. That’s why I read all these amazing books for excitement! 🙂
Oooh cool! 🙂 Loved Slammed & Point of Retreat. Needless to say I am sooo looking fwd to reading Hoover’s next book.
As for crazy shopping experience? Last week (I am 21 weeks pregnant and shopping with my 22 month old daughter) I am waiting for the cashier to give me the video game she had held for my behind the counter while I finish my shopping. When I was ready to purchase item, cashier told me she would be right back because she was helping someone at the time. There was one person behind me waiting. When the cashier came back, she thought that I was being helped by someone else (who was on the phone helping someone on the phone) & took the person behind me who wasn’t even planning to buy something in the electronics dept & had questions regarding toys. :/ I told cashier I was here first & she sincerely apologized & assisted me first. The customer on the other hand gave me a rude look & I could have sworn she even rolled her eyes at me. Whatever! Don’t mess with a pregnant women w/ an active child ready to get out of the cart & leave the store.
I am super excited about reading this book!!!!
I would love to read this one!
I love Colleen’s books! I cant wait to.read this one!
This sounds amazing!
I love Colleen, The Avett Brothers, Will, & Layken!! And I’d love to win a signed copy of Hopeless for Christmas because I’m Hopelessly Devoted to reading and want to add Hopeless to my signed collection!! I’ll keep my butterflying fingers crossed.
You can have your 70 degree weather and I’ll keep the SNOW!–as I’ll be stuck inside and reading Hopeless!!
Oh, do I have a great crazy holiday shopping story! And it’s a GOOD crazy compared to so much horror in the news this last week (my daughter-in-law works at the Clackamas Town Center mall where a shooting occurred). I was getting a mocha this weekend and the person in line in front of me in the drive-thru paid for my coffee! The barista joked and said it was Santa and that I should “pay it forward”. I’ve left the empty coffee cup in the cup holder in my car to remind me to pay it foward. So, I was in KMart tonight when the young woman two places in front of me in line was short some cash on her purchase of what were clearly kids Christmas presents. There was a language barrier and she didn’t understand why one of the items didn’t have a discount. The woman in line between us was really impatient and getting totally pissed off and the young mom was trying to figure out what present to put back. I gave the clerk the money and told the mom Merry Christmas. She had tears in her eyes when she said thank you and hugged me! There might have been a language barrier, but smiles don’t need translation. And I’m choosing to believe she’s going to pay it forward, too. 😀
Me pleasw!!
Unfortunately, I don’t have a crazy shopping story! I’ve seen numerous people go nuts over items on sale on black friday though! This year, the Nook’s were on sale at Walmart. One guy literally climbed onto somebody else, knocking a couple people over to get to the metal cage thing that surrounded the nooks! Needless to say, he was kicked out, but the security guards let him keep the nook he grabbed! I watched from afar, thankfully, because his launch onto unsuspecting people didn’t look comfortable or safe. Luckily, nobody was hurt! (People will do anything to read! 🙂 )
Thanks again for doing this 25 days of Christmas giveaway! I love Colleen Hoover’s Point Of Retreat and Slammed! I can only imagine Hopeless will pack the same punch!!
I’m the only girl in my house…3 boys and a husband…I read love stories
Me I love your books and my 15 year old is addicted too, thanks to me! Lol! Pray you have a blessed christmas! I would love to surprise her withthis prize,:)she has been out of school sick since late october and she is so a mini me! We both would and always have choose readinginstead of video games and tv!
I just bought mine one kindle but I can’t wait to get my hands on a hard copy!!!!
I don’t really have any crazy Christmas shopping stories, but I would love to win a copy of this book! Love Colleen Hoover and your blog! 🙂
I love her books! (Haven’t found many books I don’t like!)
Ive always had crazy experiences shopping. It seems to folow me around.
I was 8 months pregnant and on bed rest and decided to go to Wal-Mart for Black Friday. Never again will I put myself through the Black Friday nightmare.
Oooooh I hope I am one of the five! This is such a treat!! XOX
No crazy Christmas shopping stories but bought/read Slammed and Point of Retreat and loved them and can’t wait to read Colleen’s new book! Thanks for the chance to win!
I can’t even tell you how bad I want to read this!!! I can’t think of a crazy shopping experience, but I did remember a funny story related to christmas shopping so here goes. In college, I shared an apartment with my sister, and we’re opening presents on christmas morning. The first thing I opened from her was a koozie cup. Then I got some lighters. And then some scratch off lottery tickets. Finally she fessed up that she waited til the last minute to do her christmas shopping, and the only think open on christmas eve after midnight was Circle K!!
I saw two ladies fighting over a tv in Kmart and one bit the others hand! Crazy! And I really want a copy please!
Pretty please pick me!
Can’t wait to read this one.
Ohhhhh! What a great Christmas gift!
Love her books and so excited to read this one! No crazy Christmas shopping experience for me. But my Dad did almost burn the back deck two years in a row on Christmas from trying to fry a turkey. Those fryers are hazardous they should be outlawed. Everything ended up fine and well the turkey is always baked now.
OMG!!!! I want to win this sooooo bad!!! My craziest shopping experience was waiting in an automobile line just to get into the mall. The parking lot was full and security only let cars in when others left.
Finger crossed! Fingers crossed!!
I’ve done most of my Christmas shopping online this year so nothing too crazy had happened yet 🙂
ME! ME ME! love all of her books and can’t wait for Hopeless!
I love Colleen!!!! ME…pick me 🙂
I honestly cannot wait to read this book!
I have been dying to read this book! I recently finished Slammed and POR and loved them! I don’t have any crazy shopping experiences because do all my shopping ONLINE! Heck with the malls LOL

I am absolutely in love with Colleen Hoover’s books. She is very talented and I can’t hardly wait for the release of Hopeless. Woohoo it will be here soon. Merry Christmas and God bless.

Great way to jump start this holiday by a great read by a great author. Such an inspiration through and through!
I live in New Orleans..so holiday shopping can be a nightmare when looking for parking. I also happen to have a small car , unlike many SUV driving women, in my area. Anyway, my adventure for holiday shopping, occurred at a mall. I happened across an open spot and whipped in, thinking SCORE, as I sat in my car jamming out to matchbox20’s “shes so mean” and tucking away my radar detector I fail to notice other cars around me backing up and pulling in. I go over my list and mentally plan my attack , again jamming out to another good song.
Finally, a commercial comes on so I can now exit my car…as I try to I realize that the person who parked Next to me on my side is so close I can’t open my door! Bitching to myself I think FINE! I’ll crawl,over into the passenger side and get out there..but what do I see ….another SUV has blocked me in!!! Now most sane people would think just back out and get a new spot..not me oh noooo its all about the win of a great spot at the mall. So plan C kicks in..I crawl into my back seat, lower the seat that opens into my trunk and exit my car from the trunk of my car!
Thankfully when I returned several hours later I didn’t have to enter my car the same way.
Make my wish come true Maryse!
My crazy story is one year on the day after Thanksgiving my husband for the first and only time went shopping with me. We waited in line at Menards for 45 minutes of him looking around like he was in a nut house and complaining it was cold. When we finally went in and started shopping my husband was run down by a little old lady trying to get a big pack of batteries for $1.99. Now my husband is 6′ 4″ tall and weighs about 220. He did pick himself up off the ground but never went day after Thanksgiving shopping again.
I am so excited for this book. Slammed and POR is in my top 10 favorite of all time books. Colleen is an amazing author.
No crazy shopping story, but I’d love this book!!
Ahhh!!!! Cant wait to read this!!
Love C. Hoover. Nice prize!
I have read all of your books so far and have just started reading Hopeless today and saw this giveaway! I would love to add this book to my collection!
Please please please let me win this
Slammed and Point of Retreat are definitely two of my favorites! I can’t wait to read this! Would love to win a copy…Happy Holidays! 🙂
don’t have a crazy shopping experience.. 🙁
I’m so excited to read this!!
Would love a copy thank u for the chance to win and happy holidays
Please let me be one of the winners! I’m a huge fan of Colleen Hoover’s, but seeing as I’m from Denmark, I won’t be able to buy a copy until it’s available in print from amazon.
No real crazy shopping experiences……that I can think of. Well there was this one time I was waiting in line at the checkout and this lady in front of me starts to put her stuff on the belt then mid way just walks off the cashier looked at me like WTH so she started to ring me up since I had a few items but when the lady returned she tried to start a fight with me because I skipped over her in line. Really!?!?? The nerve of some people. I just smiled and said Merry Christmas and left. Had to leave it ona good note or it would have bugged me. 🙂
Woo can’t wait to read this!
Love Colleen…can’t wait to read this book… Great giveaway…thanks
Really want to read this book! Loved Slammed and POR!
Oooooo I want it!!!!! Me….this book….my kindle…that’s Christmas! LOL
Hopeless!!!! I will read ANYTHING by Colleen Hoover 🙂 & I wish I had a crazy shopping story!
The strangest thing that ever happened was I found the same 2 couples at each of the same stores that I went to. The stores were all a short driving distance away and they were all different (Best Buy, Joann Fabrics, Bed, Bath&Beyond) Almost felt like I was being followed by them. By the 3rd store, I bumped into 1 of the couples and started joking around with them. The funny thing is they thought I was following them and it turned out to be all a coincidence.
The only crazy shipping experience is standing one thanksgiving night in line for 6 hrs or TArget and it was freezing cold!
Thanks for hoding this giveaway! I’m a big fan and can’t wait to read Hopeless
Merry Christmas to all!
I don’t have such crazy christmas shopping experience because I tend to buy like weeks before the rush. So I’m gonna share a crazy experience without christmas shopping. My friends and I were eating street food obviously in a street, a long one. Then there was this girl who went up to us selling some flowers. Since I won’t use the flowers anyway, I just bought her quail eggs too! After buying for her, we went to the other end of the street to buy another food. After a few minutes, the girl appeared in front of us again. At first, I thought she was trying to give me the flowers since I bought her food. So I started to say that it’s okay, I don’t need it anyway. But she kept on insisting. Then my friend immediately told me that she was actually selling the flowers to me! I don’t know if she doesn’t remember that I just bought her food or what. It’s simply crazy! So without thinking, I immediately told her in a nice way that I just bought food for her! And guess what, she was the one who had the nerves to be mad. She immediately walked out. It was really crazy for me.
I can’t wait to read Hopeless. <3

Cant wait to start reading this one
Can’t wait to read this one! Pick me, pick me… please!!!
Hopeless sounds awesome!
I cannot wait to read this book!!!!! I don’t have any crazy Christmas shopping experiences to share. The only thing I HAVE learnt is not to buy chocolate gifts for friends and then spend hours continuing to shop and dawdling in the carpark because they MELT (I am in Australia) and chocolate melting through all your other gifts in the bag is NOT a good experience! Merry Christmas Maryse!
Thanks for the giveaways 🙂
My crazy shopping story will prob come up in the next few days as I have not done any of my shopping yet 🙁
Would love a copy of this to read 🙂
I cant wait to read Hopeless! I absolutely adore Colleens books 🙂
I am 20% in to Hopeless and I am loving every second of it.
I don’t personally have a crazy Christmas story so I’m stealing my mum and SIL’s. Last Christmas they went to the local supermarket for an alcohol stock up. Only when they got there there was a man having as full on argument WITH the alcohol aisle and it resulted in him smashing every bottle of alcohol in sight. Needless to say we had a sober night!
Choose Brazil!!!
Well this isn’t a shopping story but instead a total mommy mess up. My 5 year old son has been asking for an electric guitar for Christmas. Instead of going to the store and buying one I went on Craig’s list and found a good one at a great price. We get him it and my husband decided to take a few of the old screws out of it at a time and polish them ( he’s a tool maker). For the last few weeks I have been taking it out on this lunch break and finding it when he leaves. Now to this past Monday, hubby come home and puts back the last screws and back to work he goes. My almost 2 year old takes a nap and so does the tired mommy. My alarm beeps on my phone, jolts me awake, time to pick up the kids from school. So off to the kids and when I get home I look at my sink and realize I need to do the dishes, while setting up my daughter with her snack and homework. All of the sudden I hear the strumming of the electric guitar and my son asking who’s “rocking guitar” it is. So I stop everything run to him, grad the guitar bag ( he only had it open a little bit) and run with it to my room. Try to convince a little boy he didn’t see the one present he has been asking for for 5 months. It’s impossible. Still trying to figure out an idea of what to say on Christmas morning. :/
No crazy shopping experiences here but I’d love to win a copy of Hopeless! Great giveaway!
My craziest Christmas experience, is that due to buying a house and getting it warm, etc, I have yet to do any shopping for Christmas next week, and I cannot until payday friday, so I will be the crazy fool trying to get it all done in one night~ugh, I got my 4 kids to shop for and 4 niece’s and nephews, as well as 3 step niece’s and nephews, gonna be one long night later this week 😀
I love Colleen Hoover, and I would love to win a signed copy from one of my favorite authors! It would so totally make my day, heck, it would make my year 😀
Have a Merry Christmas!
I can’t wait to read this one.
Pick me please
I have this on my TBR list. A signed copy would make it that much better <3 Thanks for the gift giving this holiday season!
Can’t wait to read Hopeless
Thank you for the giveaway!! I love Colleen and I just read your review for Hopeless and now I’m even more excited about this book! *bounces*
And I wish I had a fun shopping experience to share with you, but apart from the usual run over by the crowd around the holidays, nothing exciting really happened. :))
Thanks again!
Haven’t read the book yet, but I plan too. However, I am already finding out that I will need to wait on another book so I am nervous about reading it as there might not be a HEA. I am such a romantic.
Sooo looking forward to this book. Slammed and POR were amazing!
First I need to say that I’m obsessed with the slammed books and I’m sure I will become obsessed with this one as well! I don’t have a Christmas shopping madness but more of a blooper…
When I was about nine years old I went with my sister and mom to do Christmas shopping and at that age I went through a phase that I had to walk sometimes with my eyes closed (I guess I thought I had a sixth sense) and walked straight into a pole (so much for that sixth sense) here I was laying on the ground…..it was like’where the butterfly did that thing come from? And so much for my mom and sister not even bothering to warn me about that sucker! Believe me thatwas the end of my phase of walking with my eyes closed! Butterflying headache!
cant wait to read this book!
I love her a lot and can hardly wait to read this!
Can’t wait to read this one!!
Would love to read this book. I buy on amazon, no pushing, no shoving and everything is delivered within 2 days.
Chooosseee me! And yea I’m still doing Christmas shopping and wont be done until this weekend im such a procrastinator!!
Read your review, can’t wait to read this!
I NEED this. Just finished last night and can’t stop thinking about the characters. AMAZING. Thanks Colleen Hoover for writing another fantastic book=)
Can’t wait to read this book. Love Colleen Hoover! Done Christmas shopping! I have to try and sneak and wrap all these presents for Santa.
My craziest shopping experience involved a Black Friday, a lost husband & a handful of toys for my dogs. I think the guy survived.
Would love a copy of this book.
Would love to win! No crazy stories…yet, BUT with a 2 year old and 4 year old I am sure I will have some!
Your review makes me want to read this book, I would love to win it!! Thanks!
Me please!
Checked for this book on Nook last night and it wasn’t there for downloading yet…maybe I’ll wait to see if I win first? Thanks Maryse, for these great giveaways!
Well my crazy is I had to take my 4 year old step-son x-mas shopping with me and the bad part it was for him. I did not have a choice though I had to take him. So I was trying to put things in the cart incognito and it wasn’t working out too well for me as he was trying to play with everything so I took my coat off; I would distract him and place items in cart under my coat. Seems logical right….well that was until I was approached by security thinking I was trying to um steal. I was so embarrassed; and while I was explaining I started to break down and he just laughed and said sorry miss…Have a very merry x-mas. Needless to say that was the last time I took him shopping with me until he was much older…now he is almost 16 but I will never forget that. OH and yes would love to be one of the lucky 5 winners. Absolutely adore this author.
MeMeMeMeMe- please?!!
Pick me! I wish I had a funny Christmas shopping story, but unfortunately (or fortunately for me!) my Christmas shopping has always been fairly calm. With the extra time not spent fighting in stores though…I love to read! So, Pick me! 🙂
I can’t wait to read this book! I haven’t had a crazy experience yet but I probably will this weekend since I haven’t done my shopping yet! Crazy me I know.
Black Friday shopping with my niece who was very much expecting her third child: one big cart full of toys in line at Kohl’s, and one strolller-cart for the poor tired Mommy to sit in!
PUH-LEEEEZZZZZ!!!! (lol 🙂
I have never heard of this book nor the author..Would love to try it/her..
I am dying to read your book! I really want it so bad. Hihi. That will be the best Christmas present ever! I swear I am so nice this year. Santa, please! HAHA. <3
I would love to win these!
Would Love to have this book, Slammed Rocked!
I loved Slammed and POR so I am sure I would love this one as well.
This year I went black Friday shopping, as usual. When we went in for the night we only took in the other ladies bags and I left all my purchases in my fully restored 1979 suburban (my husband just bought and restored for me). When I went to drive the hour home the next morning my window was shattered and my door was all dented they must have gotten frustrated when they couldn’t brake the window quickly and went at the door with a crow-bar. Needless to say I lost hundreds of dollars in children’s toys and have hundreds of dollars in damage to my truck. So that’s my crazy SAD story this year. I just hope some children that may not have had a good Christmas will be getting one now.
I’m dying to read this book! I’ve heard nothing but positive things!!
I so loved slammed and point of retreat and I cannot wait for this book:)
I have been waiting for this one to release. Loved slammed and POR.

Regarding this scene from your review,
“Let me inform you of something,” he whispers. “The moment my lips touch yours, it will be your first kiss. Because if you’ve never felt anything when someone’s kissed you, then no one’s ever really kissed you. Not the way I plan on kissing you.
OMG! If that doesn’t make your insides quiver nothing will. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book!

Sounds great. Can’t wait to read it.
It’s almost Christmas! My craziest shopping experience was tagging along with my best friend – who shops AFTER Christmas! She delivers all her presents on New Years Eve (always has) – and gets those items that people wanted and didn’t get – and, of course – gets them on sale. I still can’t believe she gets away with it – but, she does!
I am hope, hope, hoping, and hopeful that I win a copy of HOPELESS!!! I loved Slammed and Point of Retreat, and would love nothing more than to have a signed copy of another one of Colleen’s deep-soul books on my bookshelf!!!
Happy Holidays!!! 🙂
I’d love to win a paperback copy… 🙂
Oh, yes, Christmas shopping…I still have a few things to get…
Happy Holidays, Maryse! 🙂

I can’t wait to read this book!! Would love to win
Reading “Hopeless” as we speak.
I can’t wait to read this!!!
Crazy Christmas shopping experience…hmmmm….I watched someone pee in a fitting room once. Yep, just pulled ’em down and went right there in front of me on a pile of clothes. I guess in too much of a Christmas frenzy to actually go to the rest room. Now that I think about it…I have been somewhat scared of fitting rooms since!
The hubby and I get up and shop like crazy black Friday. Never for anything particular but just to get into the holiday spirit amongst the crowds!!
I don’t have any crazy shopping stories. I have figured out that I should start early to avoid the last , minute craziness.
I am hope, hope, hoping, and hopeful that I win a copy of HOPELESS!!! I loved Slammed and Point of Retreat, and would love nothing more than to have a signed copy of another one of Colleen’s deep-soul books on my bookshelf!!!

I live in HI, so businesses take quite awhile before opening a store/restaurant here. So, when Wal-Mart finally decided to open, everyone was so happy! One of the first years they opened, I was a nut and decided to go there for black friday shopping. The chaos was insane…but guess what they were going crazy for? Cases of Spam. I kid you not, that’s what everyone headed for…carts were filled with cases and cases of spam. Oh, and bags of rice. They were trying to push around carts filled with 20# bags of rice. It was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. At least I got to grab stuff from everywhere else in the store while they were all yelling for spam and rice (which are staple foods here in HI, lol).
Hi! I’d love to win this. Have not read yet. Thank you so much!!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
Thanks so much for all you do all year long!!!!
I’d love to win this one, can’t wait for this book!
Craziest Christmas shopping day was Black Friday. I jaywalked in front of cop and my sister apologized to the cop and he rolled down his window and told said to me “that’s my girl” did I mention he was cute lol. Then my sister did a complete circle in the middle of the road calling it and “oie” after that we snuck into Santas workshop to take a picture 🙂 all of this took place between the hours of 12:00 am and 5:00 am. We were shopping that whole time. We had a blast and definitely a Black Friday to remember!!
Going shopping with my friend is crazy. She goes from 8am to midnight and does all her shopping in one day!!! I hope to win!
I never win anythign but let’s give it a try.

I don’t have a particular experience but I do love the high you get from black Friday shopping. The planning and game plan leading up to the day and the crazy stores.
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo want this! :0)
Happy holidays! It would be butterflying fantastic to get a copy of this book, especially after your review!
A few weeks ago I had been out shopping for my kids’ gifts, and every item I was looking for was sold out (Toys r’us, Walmart, Target,…), That should have been my sign to go home. I decided to make one last stop to Best Buy to look at some of the tablets. As I was testing one of the tables on display, I accidentally pulled the security device off the tablet, and the alarm on the device starting going off…loud enough to attract the attention of other shoppers. I was so embarassed. I left, called my husband to let me know I had a very unsuccessful holiday shopping day. After that, I decided to do a lot of purchasing on-line.
I hope your shopping has been much more successful.
I haven’t started shopping yet. I love the story of “Hopeless“, thank you for the chance.
What a great Christmas gift for myself. Still debating on what new book to read, this sounds just right.

Oh, I NEED this book! Really, really, really bad! Sadly though, I have no crazy shopping stories, especially since these days I do most of my shopping online to avoid such craziness. Sorry to disappoint.
Last week I was driving around the mall parking lot looking for a spot. A lady came out of the store and pointed to the isle her car was in, I rolled down my window to thanked her and then followed her to her car. The spot was on the opposite side of the row in which the way I was driving down it. Once I got to the spot I put on my turn signal to snag it. As she pulled out of the spot a lady (going the right direction down the row) cut me off and pulled into the spot. The lady who had just pulled out stopped and looked at me, we were both laughing, neither of us could believe the other lady blatantly took my spot! The lady who “stole” my spot rolled her window down and yelled at us that it was her spot because I wasn’t following the correct traffic pattern…whatever lady, Merry Christmas!!! 🙂
Would love to win this.
Would love to have a great book to start my new year!
I can’t wait to read this!
OMFG, may i love you for this? I really want this book.
..My craziest shopping experience? , I really hate shopping in this season, A LOT of people for an antisocial person like me in just one place. This weekeend i was out of some store with all my bags and It was rainning and i felt; ended up wet, dirty and almost crying in front of all the people that was trying to get to a safe place so no one helped me T_T , is not crazy but my anckle hurts like hell thanks that moment.
I am not sure if I commented earlier or not but want to share something funny! I had never heard of this book or author until yesterday when you posted this and have now read about it three times since. It has been added to my wishlist for sure. Everyone is raving about her and her books.
Merry Christmas,
Marlena
